And This happened...

"Terribly Tilly" sits 1.2 miles off the north coast of Oregon. She endures the wrath of wind, wave and weather, and she is much tougher than me. - Matt Eaton

When I texted Matt on December 16th to see if he was near to come meet a client who was buying his beautiful (big!) Cannon Beach oceanscape for his wife for Christmas, I got back, "At the coast shooting waves".

Of course you are. Because it's nasty wet cold blowing weather, and that makes great oceanscapes.

Matt was out in it for two days to get this shot. Exposure time was 3.5 minutes (think about that in terms of what happens when your hand shakes in the 1/60th of a second that it takes your camera to get the shot).

This is what gives "Stand Alone" that beautiful soft alive look... Tilly and her rock held their spot on the planet, while ocean and fog and light moved around them.
